Rio Tinto is one of the world's largest mining and materials companies, extracting and supplying iron ore, copper, aluminium and lithium. Founded in 1873 in the Rio Tinto region of Spain, the company operates across 34 countries on six continents and employs more than 61,000 people. It is dual-listed on the London Stock Exchange (Rio Tinto plc) and the Australian Stock Exchange (Rio Tinto Limited), and is managed as a single company under one board of directors.

The business is built around large-scale, continuous movement of materials: mining and resource extraction, mineral processing and materials production. Its operations span remote and regional sites in Australia, Africa, the Americas and elsewhere, moving bulk commodities from pit to port and on to global markets. Drivers, heavy-vehicle operators, logistics coordinators and maintenance crews form part of the workforce that keeps these supply chains running.

Technical work covers mining and resource extraction, mineral processing, materials production and decarbonisation. Rio Tinto has set a target to reduce operational emissions by 50% by 2030 and to reach net zero by 2050. The company is dual-headquartered in London and Melbourne, and states its purpose as "Finding better ways", with a stated commitment to partnerships with Indigenous Peoples and local communities in the places where it operates.
